Presented at: Advancing International Pediatric Clinical Research webinar series: Assent and Consent in the Field: Culture, Context, and Respect
The second conference in the series, “Time to Listen: Hearing from Young People in Clinical Research,” focused on the perspectives of young people and the adults who care for them in clinical research and product development. The two hour webinar featured a moderated panel and was hosted twice, from 9-11 am EST and 8-10 pm EST, with similar content but different speakers and panelists, to allow for wide attendance and global participation.
Presented at: Advancing International Pediatric Clinical Research webinar series: Assent and Consent in the Field: Culture, Context, and Respect
The first conference in the series was a three-hour webinar that focused on applying lessons learned—those sustained and those abandoned– during the COVID-19 pandemic to future work with children in clinical trials.
Each keynote speaker was followed by two moderated panel discussions to:
Deliberate the appropriateness and timing of initiating trials in children, and the different age groups within the broad scope of “children,” using lessons learned from COVID-19 and applying that learning to future pediatric trials.
Address infrastructure, both new and adaptations to existing structures, needed to conduct efficient and ethical pediatric clinical trials on a global scale.
This project is supported by the FDA (R13) Scientific Conference Grant Program.
